Bayou Experiment
Well, after yet ANOTHER canine escape out/under/through the fence, I have decided that if you cannot beat 'em, join 'em. Yesterday after more fence repairs I started taking them out onto the levee without a leash, let them run around and expend some energy. Seems to be working OK, although only on the third time out there, this morning, did I manage to curb them from getting into the water... They're good dogs, listen well (although Bucky's got it bad for HSG and just keeps jumping up), so I think this could work, as long as there are not any other dogs out there at the same time. Now I just have to get Bucky to stop picking up the little turtles and redepositing them a few hundred feet from where found them. Maybe he's rearranging, I would not know, I did not get that QE4SG gene.
